This year, howies turns twenty years old.

So as part of our misty eyed musings, we’ve put together a little montage of photos online from our last past twenty years.

We started making clothing in July 1995... way back when we all had baggy jeans, funny hair and clumpy shoes and John Major was Prime Minister. Takes you back, doesn’t it?

Things have changed a fair bit since then (especially that absurd bleach blonde hair-do of Pete’s), so it’s amusing to look back. Friends and faces, past and present, some of which we haven’t seen for a long time. Hope you’re all doing well, wherever you are.

Bye bye summer.

8:24 AM - 5 Sep

Steve Worland was a true original, a writer and a pioneer in the UK MTB scene who sadly passed away from a heart attack while running fast in Ashton Court, Bristol earlier this year.

He was someone who spent countless hours in the woods either testing bikes and equipment, going out for a run, riding his bike for fun or simply enjoying the quiet and peaceful environment.

howies have collaborated with the Steve Worland Memorial Fund and we are printing this limited edition memorial tee.

£5 from the sale of every Remember Steve T-shirt – available until 31st August – will be donated to help pay for a memorial bench and defibrillator at Ashton Court in Bristol.

Steve loved the countless trails that run through his local woodlands and was an important contributor to the sheer endless network of little tracks running through Leigh Woods, Ashton Court and all the pockets of woodland Bristol has to offer.

We’ve just printed some new t-shirts for the big bicycle race through France that starts next week.

Due to the amount of lawyers Le Tour have, we thought we probably shouldn’t refer to these as ‘Tour’ tees, or mention the term ‘Tour De France’ anywhere on them.Besides, ‘French Bike Race’ is way more catchy anyway.

DYFI ENDURO
With assistance from of a loyal band of helpers, some great sponsors, and friendly landowners, the Dyfi Enduro has grown to be one of the most popular MTB events in the UK, with entries selling out faster and faster each year.

This year marked the 13th Enduro – riding on the great network of trails that crisscross the huge Dyfi forest, North of Machynlleth in Mid Wales.

If you rode the Dyfi Enduro last bank holiday we hope you enjoyed it. (See if you can spot yourself.)

Ade from howies and Dom from Wold met up in mid-Wales for a ride to the coast by howies HQ.
They rode two hand made cyclocross bikes, built to take on the mountain terrain, boggy tracks, winding roads and rocky paths in as straight a line as possible.
53 miles,
Mountains to sea,
As the crow flies.
